From evening to midnight, when Mu Zhenliu woke up, he was extremely awake, but he couldn't fall asleep anyway.On the other side of the room, Zhu Wanzhi hugged the quilt and snored loudly, presumably because he was frightened and angry during the day, and was completely exhausted.

Mu Zhenliu lay on the top of the bed for a while, then tiptoed up, ready to pour some water to drink, when he got out of bed, the surrounding area became quiet, Zhu Wanzhi sat up straight, staring at him with wide eyes.

"I got up to drink water." He offered to explain.

Zhu Wanzhi blinked his eyes, fell back to sleep.

Mu Zhenliu sat at the table and drank alone for a while, Zhu Wanzhi got out of bed suddenly, picked up the kettle and poured himself a glass, and the two began to drink together.

Zhu Wanzhi drank five or six times, rubbed his belly and said, "I can't drink anymore."

Mu Zhenliu said: "I will sleep later."

Zhu Wanzhi raised his eyelids: "You have something to say."

Mu Zhenliu said: "After drinking so much water, I will definitely want to relieve myself after a while."

"..." Zhu Wanzhi said, "Then sit down for a while."

Mu Zhenliu took out a piece of cloth from his arms and gave it to him.

Zhu Wanzhi looked at the dense fly-sized text on it, and covered his eyes with a headache: "I have been afraid of two things in my life, one is that my father will walk towards me with a rattan stick, and the other is that I will write on a piece of paper. You have to read the paper full of words."

Mu Zhenliu said: "Send it to the capital."

Zhu Wanzhi was silent for a while before saying, "What about you?" Since he knew that Sang Nanxi and Mu Zhenliu were in the same group, his attitude towards Mu Zhenliu was not as polite as before.

Mu Zhenliu said: "I am a burden."

Zhu Wanzhi said: "My bodyguard is you."

Mu Zhenliu said: "It's the same if you treat it as my suicide note."

Zhu Wanzhi said: "Is this true? Are you scholars not afraid of bad luck?"

Mu Zhenliu said: "After seeing so many life and death events, what taboos are there?"

Zhu Wanzhi put the cloth into his arms and said, "I'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Mu Zhenliu said: "Please."

Zhu Wanzhi said: "I'm here, Bu is here, I'm dead...you can hire someone else."

Mu Zhenliu raised his glass: "Don't say thanks for your kindness, replace wine with water, and drink it first as a respect." As he spoke, he raised his neck and poured down the glass.

Zhu Wanzhi felt his bulging face and was worried alone. Seeing Mu Zhenliu looking over, he gritted his teeth, downed the cup, and then ran straight to the latrine.

The next day was bright, and Mu Zhenliu just fell asleep for a while, when he was woken up by the sound of fetching water for washing.Zhu Wanzhi was washing up outside, and Sang Nanxi was sitting at the table thinking about something, and the folding fan in his hand patted his palm repeatedly.

Mu Zhenliu sat up: "Hero Sang."

Sang Nanxi smiled and said, "If you don't think I'm clinging, I'll call you Shushi, and you can call me Bo Che."

Mu Zhenliu said, "Brother Bo Che."

Sang Nanxi said: "Qiu Shui's fever subsided, but he was seriously injured, so he is not suitable for a long-distance journey. I and Zhu Zong are in charge of the bodyguard, and she will continue to stay here to recuperate. If Soseki is not in a hurry to leave, I will stay and take care of her for a few days."

Mu Zhenliu smiled wryly: "I'm afraid that if I am here, I will bring her death."

Sang Nanxi chuckled, and suddenly approached him.

Mu Zhenliu was startled, and subconsciously wanted to back away, but Sang Nanxi held his shoulders: "You?"

Sang Nanxi said: "At this moment, the vital points of my whole body are in the other party's plan. As long as I move forward a little bit, ten thousand swords will pierce my heart."

Mu Zhenliu saw a narrow look in his eyes, and suddenly understood who he was referring to, and his face turned red.

Sang Nanxi backed away and kept a distance from him: "When Gourd Lady recovers from her injuries, she will leave on her own. You don't have to worry, she is proficient in hiding and has her own way to save her life. Gourd Lady's gourds are not only purple gold gourds If she wants to hide herself, it will be difficult for others to notice. Even if Clairvoyant, one of the three thousand in the harem, comes in person, it will be the same."

Mu Zhenliu was a little relieved.Said: "Okay, I will try my best to protect her well."

Sang Nanxi's eyes were full of gratitude: "Thank you."

Mu Zhenliu said: "Treasure."

Sang Nanxi said: "Don't worry. At the beginning, Zhai Tong was chasing after me, so I fled to the southwest unlike Calabash Lady."

Mu Zhenliu said in surprise: "You and your mentor..."

Sang Nanxi confessed: "I am from the first line of Prime Minister Shen."

Mu Zhenliu couldn't help being curious about his relationship with his mentor.Before coming to Southwest, Shen Zhenghe had told him that if he encountered danger in Pingbo City, he should send a letter to Shengyuan Escort Bureau and ask them to escort him. At that time, he thought that the person related to his teacher was Zhu Wanzhi, but unexpectedly It's Sang Nanxi and Calabash Niang.

Sang Nanxi said: "After Prime Minister Shen lost power, Gourd Lady and I were oppressed by Prime Minister Qu. We ran here and there and came to the southwest when we had nowhere to go."

Mu Zhenliu sharply said: "Didn't you just say that the one who is chasing after him is Zhai Tong?"

Sang Nanxi was startled, opened the folding fan and shook it, and said in a disguised way: "Zhai Tong is one, and Qu Xiang is also one. Alas, these days, there are fewer people who give charcoal in the snow, and more people who fall into trouble. They must have never imagined that there is still a minister in the past." When you recover."

Although Mu Zhenliu felt that what he said was a bit far-fetched, as if he was covering up something, firstly, he didn't like to break the casserole and ask the bottom line, to probe into other people's privacy, and secondly, he didn't have the heart to dig through old accounts at this time, so he was vague. fooled the past.

As the sky became brighter and brighter, Sang Nanxi bid farewell to Hu Qiushui who had woken up, and set off with Zhu Wanzhi.

Mu Zhenliu paid an extra month's rent to the villagers who were staying overnight, and then stayed.

After Sang Nanxi left, Hu Qiushui's condition was repeated, sometimes good and sometimes bad.Afterwards, he obviously felt that the villagers always came in to talk to him, asking him how his condition was, asking him if he wanted something to eat, and most exaggeratedly coming in with a wooden basin and asking him if he wanted to take care of others. While soaking his feet, the villagers didn't bother him until Muzhen flowed back to his room at night, and it was the same on the morning of the third day.

Mu Zhenliu was so annoyed that she simply opened the window, but covered the bed with a blanket to prevent her from getting cold, and only exposed herself under the window.

In this way, the villager really didn't bother him anymore.

After two days of recuperation, Hu Qiushui finally regained some energy and was able to sit up, eat and chat.

Mu Zhenliu talked with her when he had time.She talked about Sang Nanxi the most, sometimes laughing at him for shaking his fan in the cold winter months, sometimes laughing at him for always making up some words that don't express his meaning.

Mu Zhenliu could see the deep nostalgia and worry from her smile.

Why is he not worried.

On the fifth day, Hu Qiushui was able to get out of bed and walk with Mu Zhenliu's support. Just as she was lying sore all over, she put on a jacket and walked in the yard. After walking two steps, she jumped off the eaves one person.

The handsome and youthful face was dark and frightening.

Mu Zhenliu greeted calmly: "Thank you, Island Master."

Xie Fei said, "Pack up your things and follow me."

Mu Zhenliu frowned: "Why?"

Xie Fei said: "They came to the door."

Mu Zhenliu took a deep look at him, and walked back with Hu Qiushui on his arm: "You go back to the house to pack your things first."

Xie Fei's face became more and more gloomy, and the dissatisfaction accumulated for many days rushed straight to the top of his head, almost bursting out, but thinking of Mu Zhenliu's indifferent eyes, he forced him to suppress the impulse back: "You want to take her with you?"

Mu Zhenliu said: "We are partners in the same boat."

Xie Fei endured and endured: "Hurry up."

When I came out this time, everything was kept simple. Mu Zhenliu and Hu Qiushui didn't have anything, so they just packed a bag and set off.When Xie Fei was going to lead the horse, Hu Qiushui asked in a low voice, "Do you trust him?"

Mu Zhenliu said: "He won't lie to me about this kind of thing."

Hu Qiushui said: "Then what will he lie to you about?"

Mu Zhenliu said: "Name, age."

Hu Qiushui was stunned.

Mu Zhenliu thought about it, probably also thought it was funny, so he couldn't help smiling.

Xie Fei led the horse over, and when he saw the two people smiling, his heart was full of anger. Seeing how Hu Qiushui looked at him, he couldn't help complaining about Zhang Yupo, who went to the underworld 800 years ago. Come.If he wasn't too incompetent, how could he still save this woman's life to flirt with her here!

The three set out on the road, but there were only two horses.

Xie Fei looked at Mu Zhenliu in a daze, as if he was certain that he would ride with him in the end. This certainty did not stem from Mu Zhenliu's affection for him, but Mu Zhenliu's awe of ethics, The six words of intimacy between a man and a woman can keep him and Hu Qiushui at a distance.

Mu Zhenliu really hesitated.

Hu Qiushui was straightforward: "Master Mu, you can ride with me."

Xie Fei stared at him, his eyeballs almost popping out.

Hu Qiushui said: "I'm injured, and it's inconvenient to ride a horse."

Seeing that Mu Zhenliu really thought about it, Xie Fei had the urge to gnash his teeth again. "There's another horse," he said slowly.

Mu Zhenliu and Hu Qiushui turned their heads to look at him at the same time, as if they only found out that he was here now.

Xie Fei said: "You wait, I will fetch it."

The horses he brought earlier were those prepared by Shengyuan Escort, all of them were young and strong, and they were exceptionally handsome, but the horses he brought later were old and thin, just standing there, there was an illusion of falling down after taking a few breaths.

Mu Zhenliu guessed that he came out too hastily, and rode out when he saw that it was a horse.

"Get on the horse." Xie Fei was the first to get on the horse.

Mu Zhenliu helped Hu Qiushui get on the horse.

Hu Qiushui's injuries have not yet healed, and just getting on a horse, his face turns pale and he breaks out in cold sweat, and Mu Zhenliu is shocked.

"Hahaha, it's okay." Hu Qiushui said, "Every time I feel that I can't hold on, if I get teased by Sang Nanxi or teased by Sang Nanxi, I can hold on."

Seeing that she really sat still, Mu Zhenliu felt relieved.
